A family looking at Sobha Nesara Block-3 in Kothrud and Sobha Inizio in Sewri encounters recorded possession dates 84 calendar months apart. Yet their full registration-to-possession intervals differ by just 4 calendar months, according to the named projects’ MahaRERA registration records and recorded possession dates. The useful lesson across India’s metropolitan housing markets is to choose a timetable as carefully as a location.
The comparison is especially relevant when national sales headlines encourage buyers to focus on which city is attracting demand. Projects enter the register at different times. Even under the same promoter, a similar overall schedule can lead to a very different moving plan. A household needs to know where its chosen project sits today within that schedule.
The rebound has different city directions
India Today reports a 12% home-sales rise during July–September 2026 and highlights Mumbai, Bengaluru and Pune. ANAROCK’s Residential Market Viewpoints reports a smaller annual increase for the same quarter, alongside growth over the preceding quarter. The city comparison here follows ANAROCK’s year-on-year direction.
That direction is uneven. Mumbai Metropolitan Region and Bengaluru recorded higher sales, while Pune recorded lower sales, according to ANAROCK figures reported by The Economic Times. The Times of India also reports growth in Hyderabad and a decline in Delhi-NCR.
Pune’s softer quarter sits alongside an earlier recorded possession date in the selected project comparison. Mumbai’s stronger activity includes projects with substantially different filed deadlines. Bengaluru’s rising sales describe another city-level movement; they give a household a reason to examine its shortlist, rather than a date around which to arrange a move.
These sales reports measure transactions; registration dates and filed possession dates describe project schedules, not verified construction progress or homes currently available to buy.
Read both ends of the schedule
Sobha Nesara Block-3 has a recorded possession date of March 2027. Sobha Inizio’s is March 2034. Their MahaRERA registration records show that the registrations themselves are 80 calendar months apart. Much of the separation between their possession dates therefore comes from when their filed schedules began.
| Project and locality | Filed promoter | MahaRERA registration number | Recorded status | Recorded possession date | Registration-to-possession calendar months |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sobha Nesara Block-3, Kothrud | SOBHA LIMITED | P52100020062 | Under construction | March 2027 | 96 |
| Bhagwati Elysia III, Panvel | BHAGWATI SIGNATURE LLP | P52000056158 | Under construction | December 2029 | 67 |
| Sobha Inizio, Sewri | SOBHA LIMITED | PR1170002501523 | Under construction | March 2034 | 100 |

The comparison holds the filed promoter constant. A preference for Sobha still needs to become a decision about an exact project. The Kothrud and Sewri records describe similar overall filed intervals beginning at different times.
For someone choosing today, the remaining calendar matters more than the age of the registration. A household preparing for a nearer move should put the current construction update beside the recorded possession date. A household planning further ahead should examine how payments fit its accommodation costs and savings over the intervening period.
Compare projects across cities, without averaging away the dates
Measured from November 2026, the selected deadlines show how differently a home search can unfold across Pune, the Mumbai region and Ghaziabad. The chart places individual project dates on a common calendar. Each bar represents the named project, rather than a city-wide average.

Bhagwati Elysia III adds practical depth to the Mumbai-region comparison. Its MahaRERA project record names BHAGWATI SIGNATURE LLP as promoter and records possession in December 2029. A household considering Panvel encounters a different filed horizon from the selected Sewri project, although both sit within the same regional sales discussion.
That distinction changes the questions worth asking at a site visit. For a nearer possession date, ask how the latest dated construction update supports the proposed move. For a later date, ask how the payment schedule fits the household’s finances. Keep those questions attached to the exact registration and the home being considered.
Indirapuram brings the phase into focus
The UP-RERA project summaries for Mayflower AT THE Prestige City and Mulberry AT THE Prestige City offer a complementary comparison. Both name PRESTIGE PROJECTS PVT. LTD. SGS CONSTRUCTION & DEVELOPERS PRIVATE LIMITED as promoter and classify the projects as residential.
Mayflower registered in July 2025; Mulberry registered in April 2025. Their filed completion dates both fall in November 2029. Their registration-to-deadline intervals are 52 and 55 calendar months respectively, according to their individual UP-RERA project summaries. Here, different registration starts lead into the same completion month.
For a family comparing these phases, the shared completion month allows attention to turn to the particular home, its payment schedule and the latest phase-specific progress documents. The development’s name provides a starting point. The phase supplies the documents that should guide the purchase.
National sales figures explain where transactions are gathering pace. The project comparisons make that news useful: a stronger city-wide quarter can contain very different household timetables. Choose the city for the life you intend to lead there, then choose the project whose specific documents support your moving plan.
